Plant breeders' rights and listing
Do you have a vegetable- or agricultural variety that you want to sell within the European Union (EU)? If so, admission to a catalogue of 1 of the EU-member states is mandatory. Only then can a variety be sold within the EU. The varieties listed on the national variety list and/or having national plant breeders' rights are registered in the national variety register. Managing the national variety register is 1 of the tasks of the Board for plant varieties.
